Minnov8

Minnov8 was started to focus on technology innovation in the State of Minnesota. Borne out of a frustration that there wasn’t a showcase for the talent, brainpower, creativity, and innovation that exists in this Land of 10,000 Lakes, several geeks set forth on a quest to deliver a destination site for just such a purpose and this podcast reflects that mission.

    Yep…you read that headline right. After nearly NINE YEARS this week’s show is our last podcast as the Minnov8 Gang. It’s been a great ride.

    Minnov8 Gang 398 – Can I Go Thru Your Underwear Drawer?

    This past week a Minnesota judge signed a search warrant for anyone who did a Google search for someone who defrauded an Edina bank. Besides being outrageously broad as a warrant—anybody who searched on this guy’s name for legitimate reasons would be under suspicion and could be brought in for questioning—is likely violating our Constitution’s 4th amendment against unreasonable searches. Even Forbes magazine picked up the story but few other outlets have…yet. Of course, if this would be allowed we could go through Tim Elliott’s underwear drawer and who knows what we’d find?  😉 We talk about this judge’s warrant, and mostly technology of course, on this week’s podcast.

    Minnov8 Gang 397 – Geek Squad Spies?

    Minnesota’s own big box tech retailer, Best Buy, sees its Geek Squad in the news since the FBI Used Best Buy’s Geek Squad To Increase Secret Public Surveillance.

    Minnov8 Gang 396 – Can Target & Best Buy Weather Retail Storm?

    We cover the Minnesota tech stories of the week including disappointing earnings from both Target and Best Buy over the holiday period. Can they compete with Amazon and other online sources? We have a few ideas. Later we discuss the Amazon S3 outage, Uber’s use of tech to evade law enforcement and Google’s rapid rise in the education market at the expense of Apple.

    Minnov8 Gang 395 – Can Tech Save The News?

    Several good tech stories this week but, once again, we dust-off our “Gang Mentality” segment to ponder a question after the president of the United States inaccurately calls out major news organizations as “fake”. That question is: Will technology provide the answer to real vs. fake news, or will it take human intervention?

    Minnov8 Gang 394 – Give Up Your Passwords at the U.S. Border

    Are you a U.S. citizen? Then you should know that, if you travel internationally, when you come back to the U.S. you may be forced to reveal your device passwords (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop) as well as providing U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers with passwords to your social media and other accounts. Farfetched? Nope…read this article to get one tech guy’s perspective on what happened this past week to a NASA guy who is a U.S. citizen: I’ll never bring my phone on an international flight again. Neither should you. Update: Here is the Department of Homeland Security Privacy Impact Assessment for the Border Searches of Electronic Devices (PDF) which, by the way, has not been updated since 2009.

    Tim and Steve could only imagine what it would be like if Phil Wilson was an advisor to Donald Trump. Would we all have healthcare? Would he build a wall around Lakeville where Tim lives?
